Judge in Capitol v. Thomas Considers New Trial

Jay Maynard writes "The judge in Capitol Records v. Thomas said today he's thinking about granting a new trial because he may have committed a 'manifest error of law' in his jury instructions. He says that his instruction that simply uploading music to a P2P network without any proof that anyone actually downloaded it may conflict with a case in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals that said 'infringement of [the distribution right] requires an actual dissemination.' Briefs are due by May 29, with oral argument July 1. The judge invited friend of the court briefs by May 29, as well."

Language May Have Evolved Earlier Than Supposed

Science News reports on research suggesting that humans' language ability may have developed earlier than we thought. Scientists used CT scanning of H. heidelbergensis skulls, more than 530,000 years old, to reconstruct the structure of the ear canal of this Neanderthal ancestor. They found evidence that the ears of these early hominids would have had a sensitivity peak in the same 2-4 KHz range that the ears of modern humans do — the range in which most information is carried in language. Sensory systems are neurologically expensive, and it's unlikely that the body would invest the resources in maintaining such a system if it didn't serve a purpose. Quoting: "It may be time to rethink the stereotype of grunting, wordless Neanderthals. The prehistoric humans may have been quite chatty — at least if the ear canals of their ancestors ar

Solar Sonic Boom: Eclipses May Generate Atmospheric Shocks

Something strange happens during a solar eclipse. As the Moon's shadow passes over the surface of the Earth, observers have noticed mysterious bands of shadow ripple ahead and behind the eclipse. It seemed possible that these bands were a result of constructive and destructive interference of sunlight around the limb of the Moon (an effect known as diffraction), or atmospheric turbulence may have had a part to play. However, a new theory has come to light. As the Moon's shadow travels across the Earth's surface, it may be possible that the shadow cools the atmosphere suddenly, creating a pressure difference. This gives rise to a sonic phenomenon: a shock front. This may refract the path of light from the lunar limb and through the atmosphere, creating the bands of light and dark.

RBC Capital Markets Corp reiterates eBay Inc. at 'sector perform'

The analyst wrote in a research report: "Our latest data shows core conversion rates showing a modest bounce off the bottom after seeing significant declines through May. As before, the number of items sold has remained relatively steady while the number of listings has increased dramatically, particularly in the more head-of-the-curve product segments like books/media/video and consumer electronics. Our channel checks indicate that while Buy.com may be one of the first large e-tailers to start listing products on what we believe is a discounted take-rate, it will not be the last, as similar deals seem pending. While this may be of benefit to listings, we fear that eBay may be displacing high rent tenants (existing PowerSellers) with lower rent larger e-tailers.
